From Sweden to South Carolina
From the very beginning Volvo Cars has existed for people who care about the world we live in and the people around us. We have made it our mission to make life easier, better and safer for everyone. Today, we’re still as focused as ever on safety, quality, and care for the environment.

About Volvo Cars
The first Volvo car rolled off the production line in Gothenburg back in 1927, and we’ve been changing the way the world thinks about automobile safety ever since. We’ve grown into a global brand with manufacturing in Sweden, Belgium, China, and the United States.

Environmental performance
Sustainability is as important to Volvo Cars as safety. As we expand operations in the U.S., we will continue to innovate so we can improve our footprint with a goal to establish practices that don’t just meet environmental safety standards, but exceed them.
Being a good neighbor
Supporting the communities where we live and work is important to Volvo Cars. Since coming to the Lowcountry in 2015, we’ve partnered with leaders from organizations across the Lowcountry to build strong, sustainable, mutually beneficial relationships between Volvo Cars and our neighbors both now and into the future.
